Notes About The Poem

 

Dear Fake Profile

“If you cannot be yourself, do not take away the identity of another.” -D.J.E.

Why do you return in another form,
Another residual voice?

Did you forget the palpable scar you left
Through your romantic coercions?

We believed you.
We trusted you.
We even kind of liked you.

You knew this,
You cherished this. 

Yet, with enamoring backhands
You crossed the boundary of someone else's heart
While you forgot to rediscover
Your own independent territory

All in the name of co-dependent epiphanies.

Blame the shameful animosities around you
As you hide behind atmospheric rainbows
And tectonic miseries

You reach for the loins of those in disdain
As your smile falsely proclaims
That it will stop their rain

Your stalker’s reign,
The only truth behind your crooked swagger

Verbally, your conjugated kiss could never complete my sentences…
…for I’ve already been sentenced to a lifetime of paradoxical complexities.

And no matter how many profile pics you lay claim to,
You malicious self-worth will always be defaulted.

Charmaine Chircop July 20, 2018 at 4:42 PM It seems as if someone was stalking you..I hope not dear friend.That is the scariest thing it could happen to anybody.. I can feel your anger...your power in these words Drake. Poet Tacito July 21, 2018 at 6:04 AM For the sake of this particular poem, no. But, similar has happened to me before. This was more of a dedication for others it has happened to. Thank you so much, dear Charmaine!

Jan Allison July 5, 2018 at 4:52 PM I LOVE that quote and such a powerfully penned poem Drake. No one really knows who is behind that avatar and sadly I know of one such person on soup had multiple accounts and stalked another member until he left:-( hugs Jan xx adding this to my faves:-) Poet Tacito July 5, 2018 at 4:56 PM Cheers & thank you so much, Jan. :) There are so many. I cannot imagine so many have given up on their own dreams where they remotely scheme to destroy somebody else. Oh, the blessing & curse that is the internet...
